It’s been warming up (although we have frost warnings in our forecast again!), and it’s time to turn our thought to the lovely sounds of sand on surf, or the lapping of water against the side of the kayak.

I love the water, and challenged to think about beaches, here are a few we’ve enjoyed…

“Who invited the pelicans?” Near Stearns Wharf in Santa Barbara

Receding tide at Goleta Beach (suburban Santa Barbara), where we took our children regularly when they were little

A lava beach on Oahu

Churning surf on Oahu’s North Shore

The pitter patter of little feet – Waikiki Beach

A stony island beach on the Delaware River

I just don’t think there can really be a bad day at the beach!
